Interesting.
The system will be designed to look for mental health problems - the people working in it with the best intention in the world cannot help but overread "symptoms" to produce a tendency positive results imho, because instead of mental health diagnosis being provided by the few and the specialised (who are poor enough at it given the difficult nature of the field) it will be provided by the many. Thus a new massive underclass could be created.
I see "accelerate research" as the part where the drug companies get money thrown at them, also where mental health patients get to volunteer to be guinea pigs. Lots of guinea pigs = lots of potential harm through side effects. Whee!
